Manuscript Abstract
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are becoming increasingly important in human life and using in many fields such as agriculture, medical, military, etc. It includes densely allocated sensors for monitoring physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, pressure, and more. There are many communication technologies used in wireless sensor networks such as Wi-Fi, RF, Bluetooth, ZigBee. However, thanks to ZigBee"s outstanding features such as energy-saving and long-distance transmission, it is always the first choice for applications in wireless sensor networks. The WSNs includes a ZigBee coordinator (network coordinator), ZigBee Router, and ZigBee End-Devices. Information about the sensor nodes in the network is sent to the coordinator, the coordinator collects sensor data, stores the data in memory, processes the data, and routes the data to the appropriate node. In this paper, the concepts of the ZigBee network are presented and discussed as well as discussing the most popular data transmission technologies used in WSN. We want to review ZigBee communication technology, and its applications especially in wireless sensor networks. Simulation results of several scenarios to show how easy the scalability is, as well as the basis for future ZigBee application research.
